If you were to ask me what the most beautiful motorcycle of all time was, my answer would be the Ducati 916. And chances are, a lot of you would have the same answer, too. Designed by the famed Massimo Tamburini, the 916 would go on to define the future of superbikes and go down as one of the most beautiful motorcycles ever made.
It’s hard to believe that the Ducati 916 came out exactly 30 years ago this year. Clearly ahead of its time, I remember being drawn to this bike as a kid, I even had a poster of it in my room and a bunch of scale models of the 916, alongside a bunch of other iconic sportbikes of the era. Some of them are sitting on my desk as I write this story.
